'Made me laugh and think too much (the right amount?) about sex and death and honesty.' MONICA HEISEY
'Utterly addictive. . . I laughed so hard it ached.' GILLIAN ANDERSON
'Juicy, salacious and compelling. Trauma shouldn't be this fun.' SARA PASCOE
Greta liked knowing people's secrets. That wasn't a problem. Until she met Big Swiss. Big Swiss. That's Greta's nickname for her - she is tall, and she is from Switzerland. Greta can see her now: dressed top to toe in white, that adorable gap between her two front teeth, her penetrating blue eyes. She's a head-turner: including the heads of infants and dogs. Well that's how Greta imagines seeing her; they haven't actually ever met in person. Nor has Greta actually ever been to Switzerland. Greta and Big Swiss are not in the same room, or even the same building. Greta is miles away, sitting at a desk in her own house, wearing only headphones, fingerless gloves, a kimono, and legwarmers, transcribing this disembodied voice. What Greta doesn't know is that she's about to bump into Big Swiss in the local dog park. A new - and not entirely honest - relationship is going to be born. A relationship that will transform both of their lives. . . Readers are obsessed with Big Swiss:
'This thing is a riot. I laughed out loud regularly. I've never read anything quite like it.'
'This book is f u n n y'
'The premise is bizarre but brilliant! I am ready to move to Hudson, NY to meet these folks!'
' I haven't read a book this engrossing for a long time.'
'The blend of real and wit made for a wonderfully sublime experience.'

This novel is brilliant, hilarious, unique. I loved every bit of it and fell in love with the perfectly imperfect characters.
I really enjoyed the subtle millennial slander. They deserve it.
Quirky and fun while addressing serious topics

Let’s be honest. I don’t like the cover and it’s the less “bad” in terms of covers.
This novel is fun while it still addresses a lot of deep issues. Greta transcribes therapy sessions of sex therapist Om in a small town up New York. Everyone in Hudson sleeps with everyone and everyone goes to therapy to sort out their issues. Well, except for Greta. While she is completely infatuated by one of Om’s clients - Big Swiss - she recognises her voice at the dog park. Ensues an affair, where Greta introduces herself as Rebekah. In Greta’s mind, Big Swiss is perfect and the affair allows her to get a glimpse of this perfection. But obviously, not everything is as it appears. And Greta will face her inner demons and make a step towards her own accountability.
I liked the very strong female characters and the quirkiness of the whole story. While male charaters are rather bland, it remains a funny and entertaining story until the end.
